Ant McPartlin's ex Lisa now from fire at £5million pad to 'move overseas'
Celebrity make-up artist Lisa Armstrong is seemingly ready to start afresh in the US after few tough years and double heartbreak.
Lisa's romance with I'm A Celeb presenter Ant McPartlin - one half of Ant and Dec - came to a crashing end in 2017 when they went public with their explosive split.
The couple had been together for over two decades and were married for 11 years, with their divorce taking place after she loyally stood by him when his career was rocked by a drink and drug addiction scandal.
Lisa, 47, went on to date a Sky electrician named James Green, 40, but it didn't end well and Lisa was forced to shut down claims she was considering taking him to court. Here, we take a look at where the Strictly Come Dancing make-up artist is now...
The celebrity couple tied the knot in 2006 (FilmMagic)Back in 2020, it was reported that Lisa received more than half of ex-husband Ant's £50million fortune in their divorce settlement. At the time, Lisa took to Twitter to blast the rumour as 'nonsense'. It was claimed Ant told pals he was 'thrilled' to have settled his divorce with Lisa and vowed to focus on moving on with his new girlfriend, former PA Anne-Marie Corbett.

It was also alleged the presenter would not give Lisa any money from future earnings and she would own the couple's marital £5million home in London. The exes reportedly share permanent custody of their chocolate Labrador, Hurley, who Lisa often posts about on her social media. It's believed the dog splits his time between both parties.

The break-up was said to have come 'out of the blue'. Lisa and James started dating in 2020 when father-of-two James was estranged from his wife Kirsty. The pair moved from lockdown dates to jet-setting around the world.
A source told the Daily Mail: "I don't really know what has gone wrong. The two of them were only on a swanky holiday together in the Caribbean or somewhere about eight weeks ago. He was with her one day, and he just wasn't with her the next day. There was no inkling that anything was wrong."

Then the couple parted ways in August 2023 (Instagram)In October, the same publication reported Lisa had threatened to take James to court after she loaned him £100,000 cash during their time together. A source said: "Lisa feels she has no choice but to go down the legal route." They continued: "Following their split, she's ramped up her demands but fears James will never pay up. Which is why she feels taking him to court is perhaps the most realistic hope of reaching a settlement."
Two months later, Lisa took to her Instagram account with fury to clarify 'lies'. She said: "Just for your records I have NEVER threatened to take anyone to court, and for your second record did not receive £31million."
At the end of last year, it was reported Lisa has plans to move to the USA and start a new career in Hollywood, to put her recent relationship breakdown and divorce behind her. The make-up artist is said to want to escape past troubles and heartaches for a new life in sunny California with her actor friend Craig Young.
It has been suggested she will be looking for work while she is there and could end up fully transferring herself to the City of Angels. A source told Closer magazine in November that Lisa had been through a "really rough time" recently had "been in a dark place". They said: "She's been planning a trip out to LA to see her pal Craig Young.
"She loves it every time she goes there and really needs that boost right now. And it could lead to something more permanent - she's debated moving there before, and now with her recent split she's seriously considering it." The source said Lisa's dramatic split from her ex James reminded her of the hell she went through when Ant dumped her.
Last September, the West London home Lisa shared with Ant was caught alight. It was understood that Lisa had been renting out the house since their split. She took to Instagram following the devastating blaze to post a quote that read: "Once the heart gets too heavy with pain, people don't cry. They just turn silent. Completely silent."
Six fire engines and around 40 firefighters responded to the fire on Grove Park Gardens in Chiswick, West London, on September 11, 2023, where the ITV couple used to live. The nanny and the cleaner, Maria Bilianska, were the only people present inside the property when the blaze started. It was believed the fire had been electrical.
